Dear friends ,
When I enter to a cold and dark cockpit or after shutting down the engines, on the overhead panel just above the APU starter, the switches
L&R GEN CONT they still with yellow mark -OFF- and the GEN DRIVE DISC switches they still with the yelloy mark -DRIVE-. After starting succesfully the APU they still -OFF- and -DRIVE-. I try to push the DRIVE switches after open them but there is no respond.
I bought the Captain 757 three days ago ,after the date of the 2.2 ver update so ithis update is included and as they say this problem is fixed but in my system still.

Can you help me ?????
Best regards

Those two switches are engine generator switches. So they do not depend on APU. They work only after engines start and go "OFF" after engines are stopped.

Hello, I do not know if you still have problems, I just bought the CS757 myself. I had the Gen Drive problem initially, I think because I like to begin with engines ready to start at a gate at EGCC.
The 757 did not like this unlike another company buses/737. So I restarted with the cessna 172, started the engine, changed to the CS757 . The engines were running with everthing normal. With the APU on I turned the engines off. With the 757 at the gate I saved the flight as default. FS2004 then restarts everytime with the 757 at the chosen gate at Manchester EGCC with no Gen Drive problem.
